What of the Day?

WHAT of the day, do you ask? Then assuredly know That the day which began weary ages ago Speeds on to an issue sublime; And the King whose glad coming draws hourly near, Will, haply, when least you expect him, appear, And the blessed long-prayed-for Sabbatical year Usher in, in the fulness of time.
Will you hasten the day? Will you labor and pray? Will you thrust in the sickle and reap while you may The plenteous harvests that lie Waiting still for your hand In every land And rip'ning ’neath every sky?
Will you gather the stones for this temple divine? And the gems in the crown of his glory to shine Brighter far than the sun? And then, when he comes, bowing low at his feet With rapture unspeakable, hear him repeat, “ Well done, thou good servant, well done.”
